We've been getting some rad reviews for Monster Suit. Monster Suit Release Show is April 14th at McMenamin's Kennedy School! Check out the kind words:
It should come as no surprise to anyone who has ever read one of my more favorable children’s CD reviews that I am being constantly wowed by the music coming out of this genre, Mo Phillips’ Monster Suit is no exception. Phillips takes kids music and makes it cool. So cool in fact I spent a little more then I probably should have listening to the album on my own. The musicianship on the album is phenomenal, the songwriting both quirky and powerful, and a blend of pop country and rock that keeps your toe tapping. I could seriously throw this album on a loop and listen to it infinitely without getting bored.

Hey folks! I’m continuing on my “Kids Music Weekend” with a super fun CD from Mo Phillips called Monster Suit. I’m seriously digging Mo’s voice and rocking beats, and in fact my hips starting wiggling and my feet started shuffling within the first couple bars of track one… love it!

It can be tricky trying to find a perfect balance in music for mama and music for kiddos. I have a hard time riding in the car not listening to my music, I love singing to all my favorite songs old and new. Unfortunately some of those songs are just not age appropriate for my kiddos and as much as I love them, I just can’t introduce my kiddos to them yet. I have been ecstatic to have found a few children’s CD’s that I think I enjoy just as much as my kids! One of those is Mo Phillips, ‘Monster Suit’. It is full of catchy and fun songs that will make you and your kids laugh and sing along! I have found myself singing and humming many of these songs after we’ve listened in the car. The good music just sticks with you! Mo also addresses a few funny things about childhood through his music, like the song Droolin’, all about teething and Hot Lava, all about the age old game of furniture in the house saving you from the treacherous lava floor! A game that can transport any adult back to their childhood and one that every child loves to play! Another favorite song on the CD is The Princess and the Cowboy. It reminds me so much of my two and holds a beautiful line that I think children and adults need to always be reminded, “It doesn’t matter whatcha do, just how you do it! Make sure it’s full of happiness and heart.” Monster Suit is a must have for all families who love listening to music together!

Don’t be ashamed if you find yourself humming Mo Phillips songs even after the kids are in bed. This Portland dad has kids and parents in mind when writing his songs. Fans of indie rock will like his quirky melodies and both generations can relate to topics like bad dreams and the joy of riding a bike.
